DAY SEVEN OF TIFF

Well my little Cine Friskies, I'm back. After gaining a reasonable amount of shut-eye, I was able to see 3 films today - with eyes wide open!

The first film of the day was a comedy and was it ever welcome. The flick was called PEEP WORLD and was written and directed by BARRY BLAUSTEIN.

The film featured a really eclectic and eccentric cast: SARAH SILVERMAN, MICHAEL C. HALL, RON RIFKIN, STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY AND LESLEY ANNE WARREN.

The film is basically a story of how a tell-all book, written by one family member, affects the family as a whole. While the film was not a wholly satisfactory experience, I mostly enjoyed it.

Film 2:

WHAT'S WRONG WITH VIRGINIA? - quite a bit as it turns out. This was one wacky film with a pedigreed cast (JENNIFER CONNELLY, ED HARRIS, AMY MADIGAN) and a wonko plot. This overbaked meller was the directorial debut of MILK writer, DUSTIN LANCE BLACK. The film is pretty bizarro and the participation of DAVID LYNCH, reminds one of last years, MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? (what indeed).

Film 3:

Now this film was certainly a treat. It was the new opus by TOM (RUN LOLA RUN) TYKVER.

The film is called 3 and it is beautifully acted, directed, and executed. it has some truly beautiful compositions, as it explores relationships in flux. This is a film put together with craft and care and the only way I can do justice to it, is by encouraging u to see it. Watch for this gem.

One more day...4 me,

Until then my Cine Friskies,
